Visiting Nurse


Three professional persons are closely involved in the birth and early experiences of the little child: the obstetri- cian, the pediatrician and the Public Health Nurse. Ob- viously, the nurse is in the best position to observe the child from infancy to school age and her importance for either good or harm should not be minimized. Parents want both understanding and practical guidance, and they seek them from many sources, but especially from their pediatricians and Public Health Nurses.


Our Public Health Nurse, who is also our school nurse, has a doubly important role. In the absence of the school physician ,the nurse is summoned in major emer- gencies. Also the school nurse has a large core of impor- tant relationships, such as those with the parents, the school physician, the family physician, the specialists in the medical field, and the school administrators, trustees or boards, and representatives of official and non-official agencies. Many people do not realize the broad scope of the nurse's work over and above the actual administra- tion of treatments and the work considered as due in home and bedside care.


This year your Public Health Nurse made 522 visits as follows :


Medical 408


Surgical


13


Maternity and Newborn 7


Child Welfare


75


TB Contacts 9


Communicable Diseases


6


42


Of these visits, 76 were classified under Old Age Benefits; 1819 miles were traveled; and fees of $372.50 were collected.


In May, two-day Well-Child Clinic was held, at which time 55 pre-school children were examined by Dr. Fred- ericka Smith, assisted by Mrs. Godek. The mothers were interviewed by Mrs. Cory Bardwell, nutritionist.

Librarian's Report


To the Trustees of the Public Library :


Herewith is my annual report as Librarian of the Public Library :


January 1, 1958, the library contained 8,635 volumes. During the year 590 new books were catalogued and add- ed to the library. Of these 283 were for children and 307 for adults. There were 39 periodicals in circulation.


The Hatfield Public Library is fortunate in having the privilege of borrowing books from the State Regional Library center in Greenfield, Massachusetts. During the year we have borrowed 834 books, biographies, travel books and historical novels. These books are very popu- lar among our borrowers.


The circulation of books and periodicals for the year was as follows:


Juvenile Fiction


9,238


1265


Juvenile Non-Fiction


3,457


1


Adult Fiction


6,059


Adult Non-Fiction


4,834


10893


Total


23,588


We are grateful to Mrs. Thaddeus Graves, who gave a number of interesting books to the library during the year.


46


Any organized group in the area may borrow films from the State Regional Center free of charge by calling the center at PRescott 3-8463 or by coming in to reserve them personally.


The Library continues to supply the best in Non-Fic- tion and Polish books. If anyone is seeking reference books, biographies or any non-fiction not found on our shelves, I will gladly borrow them on request.

Report of Water Commissioners


To the Citizens of Hatfield:


With the ending of year 1958, the Board of Water Commissioners and department members wish to express their thanks to the townspeople for their utmost co- operation and sincere interest which has been given to the Water Department.


There has been an abundant supply of water at the reservoir. Even during the dry and hot spell of the sum- mer season water was plentiful.


Because of existing expenses, the operational cost of department increasing, the Water Board found it neces- sary to raise family rates from $10 to $16 per annum. This was done so the department could become self-sup- porting.


A new hydrant was put in on Raymond Avenue to replace a defective one. Many old fire hydrants with minor defects were repaired and the department intends to renew more hydrants in the year 1959. New copper wire mesh was bought and put over every water main in the reservoir.


It was found last spring, while cleaning the reser- voir, that two water mains had no mesh over their inlets, thus accounting for some of the material found at indi- vidual faucets at some homes.


Water gates at the Chlorinator House were dug up and reset. A concrete cap was put around each gate box to hold them in place with load level.

A used panel truck was bought for the department's use. A new pipe finder and box locator were also ob- tained. This was something the department needed badly but did not have. A new electric heater has been in- stalled at the Chlorinator House and one hundred and eighty feet of fire hose has been bought.


Ten new water services were laid and seven renewals.


Plastic water lines at the Hatfield Four Corners and North Street were found to be broken and were repaired. In the future, we would not advise laying plastic lines un- der highways or roads that are traveled on extensively.


Work has been started at the large reservoir in ac- cordance with the recommendation and assistance of Carl Andros, engineer for the firm of Tighe & Bond. The con- crete wall was raised at the spillway near the gate house. The new additional spillway was installed and completed. The purpose of this second spillway is to help with the run-off of water which is caused mostly during heavy rains and spring thaws. The leak in the earth dam at its base was also checked. The only thing left to do to finish the project is to raise the earth dam 18 inches, and this will be done in the spring of 1959.


During the past year the Water Department has worked hard and efficiently to stay within the limits of its budget. We have tried to meet and fulfill everyone's wishes regarding water and its systems.


We also want to express our thanks to the Highway Department for all the assistance they have rendered to us.
